Ex-ECB chief Mario Draghi has announced his resignation as prime minister of Italy. The country with ten parliamentary parties thus seems to be slipping into a government crisis once again. Italians are reacting with great jubilation and are already gathering in the country’s major squares. The WEF man, ex-Goldman Sachs banker, ex-ECB head and regular guest at Bilderberg meetings is considered one of the worst globalists in Europe.
After Boris Johnson, the next globalist among European leaders has been kicked out. Draghi submitted his resignation, but it was rejected by Italy’s President Sergio Mattarella – a weird reaction and one that seems to have been met with surprise internationally.
On the same day, Estonia’s Prime Minister Kaja Kallas also announced her resignation. However, this was only a formality. Kallas, who like Draghi is part of the WEF as well as a member of the Council of Women World Leaders, currently leads Estonia’s regime, which has been ruling without a parliamentary majority for more than a month. She was tasked with forming a new government for the EU and NATO member.
Draghi is known to be answerable to many international organisations and, according to critics, to the citizens and parliament least of all. Draghi is also a member of the ominous Rockefeller organisation “Group of 30”. It is said to have the features of a Masonic lodge and consists of international private bankers. These are the folks who are engineering our downfall via inflation to protect their assets.
The terminally stupid EU’s Brusselites together with their banker sponsors are largely responsible for the massive inflation and the irresponsible monetary policy of the ECB that has caused the euro to be at a record low. When it came to sanctions against Russia, too, the EU was the main driving force behind pestering and threatening member states, and as a result they have further aggravated the energy crisis. However, when it comes to solutions to the problems that have been caused, none are in sight.
And it seems that the Brusselionians (or maybe Brussels Sprouts?) have nothing better to do than to incessantly badger normal, functioning and popular governments by once again taking action against Hungary. Proceedings have been initiated against the state because of the regulations on the fuel price cap. And also because a radio station had its license revoked.
In addition, Prime Minister Orban is also facing complaints from the EU Commission before the European Court of Justice (ECJ), because the country does not want to bow to the EU’s gender ideology and has banned advertising for homosexual and transgender ideology in schools.
The sprouts in Brussels have decided to follow the Anglo-Saxon example by unleashing fluid gender terror onto us all.
The face of America in 2022!

Gas purchases to ensure security of supply have been talked about for months, but nothing has been done. Only suggestions such as heating to a maximum of 19 degrees and other austerity measures could be heard from the taxpayer-financed huge civil service and its princely politicians. And naturally, calls for inflation adjustment of their own salaries. For citizens who can no longer afford to live and do not even have the security of being able to heat their own homes winter, well, a giant middle-finger from our rulers.
While no viable solutions to the misery are coming out of Brussels; instead they are eager to sabotage the actions of countries that have shown initiative and do not wish to be part of the EU’s suicide pact. That is why Hungary has once again become the target.
Hungary was one of the first countries to decide a price cap for fuel while nonsensical sanctions against Russia were also rejected. As a result, Hungarians continue to pay 70 percent less for petrol or diesel than the citizens of EU member states. However, since this casts an even worse light on the inability or unwillingness of the grafting EU bigwigs, a reason was quickly found to bash Orban.
Cheap fuel allegedly violates the rules for the free movement of goods and people within the EU. Because especially in the current situation, according to the EU Commission, it is important that the internal market is punished harshly for their moronic policies. You can’t make this stuff up.
Two lawsuits have also been filed against the Orban administration. One deals with the gender agenda, one of the favorite topics of Brussels bureaucrats. Hungary had passed a law – which came into force in July 2021 – banning LGBTQ propaganda in children’s publications. Gay and transgender advertising was also banned. The law was part of the “pedophilia package”. It also banned the showing of pornographic or other content that encourages gender change or homosexuality under the age of 18. This also applies to advertisements and TV shows and thus also to corporations, which increasingly appear with a rainbow during Pride Month. Hungary argued that regulations on LGBTQ rights were a matter for individual countries. In addition, the law should protect children, not attack the community. The EU sees this as a clear case of discrimination and has filed a lawsuit.
The second lawsuit against Hungary concerns the broadcasting license for the radio station “Klubradio” after it expired. An automatic extension was not granted because it had committed six administrative offenses in the 7 years on air, including being convicted of defamation through anonymous phone calls.
In view of the fact that the EU has launched the largest censorship packages in Europe since 1945 with the Digital Service Act (DSA) and other measures, the EU’s fake concern about “media freedom” in this lawsuit is a joke.

Five Things New “Preppers” Forget When Getting Ready for Bad Times Ahead
The preparedness community is growing faster than it has in decades. Even during peak times such as Y2K, the economic downturn of 2008, and Covid, the vast majority of Americans made sure they had plenty of toilet paper but didn’t really stockpile anything else.
Things have changed. There’s a growing anxiety in this presidential election year that has prompted more Americans to get prepared for crazy events in the future. Some of it is being driven by fearmongers, but there are valid concerns with the economy, food supply, pharmaceuticals, the energy grid, and mass rioting that have pushed average Americans into “prepper” mode.
There are degrees of preparedness. One does not have to be a full-blown “doomsday prepper” living off-grid in a secure Montana bunker in order to be ahead of the curve. In many ways, preparedness isn’t about being able to perfectly handle every conceivable situation. It’s about being less dependent on government for as long as possible. Those who have proper “preps” will not be waiting for FEMA to distribute emergency supplies to the desperate masses.
Below are five things people new to preparedness (and sometimes even those with experience) often forget as they get ready. All five are common sense notions that do not rely on doomsday in order to be useful. It may be nice to own a tank during the apocalypse but there’s not much you can do with it until things get really crazy. The recommendations below can have places in the lives of average Americans whether doomsday comes or not.

Secured Wealth
Whether in the bank or held in a retirement account, most Americans feel that their life’s savings is relatively secure. At least they did until the last couple of years when de-banking, geopolitical turmoil, and the threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies reared their ugly heads.
It behooves Americans to diversify their holdings. If there’s a triggering event or series of events that cripple the financial systems or devalue the U.S. Dollar, wealth can evaporate quickly. To hedge against potential turmoil, many Americans are looking in two directions: Crypto and physical precious metals.
There are huge advantages to cryptocurrencies, but there are also inherent risks because “virtual” money can become challenging to spend. Add in the push by central banks and governments to regulate or even replace cryptocurrencies with their own versions they control and the risks amplify. There’s nothing wrong with cryptocurrencies today but things can change rapidly.
As for physical precious metals, many Americans pay cash to keep plenty on hand in their safe. Rolling over or transferring retirement accounts into self-directed IRAs is also a popular option, but there are caveats. It can often take weeks or even months to get the gold and silver shipped if the owner chooses to close their account. This is why Genesis Gold Group stands out. Their relationship with the depositories allows for rapid closure and shipping, often in less than 10 days from the time the account holder makes their move. This can come in handy if things appear to be heading south.
Lots of Potable Water
One of the biggest shocks that hit new preppers is understanding how much potable water they need in order to survive. Experts claim one gallon of water per person per day is necessary. Even the most conservative estimates put it at over half-a-gallon. That means that for a family of four, they’ll need around 120 gallons of water to survive for a month if the taps turn off and the stores empty out.
Being near a fresh water source, whether it’s a river, lake, or well, is a best practice among experienced preppers. It’s necessary to have a water filter as well, even if the taps are still working. Many refuse to drink tap water even when there is no emergency. Berkey was our previous favorite but they’re under attack from regulators so the Alexapure systems are solid replacements.
For those in the city or away from fresh water sources, storage is the best option. This can be challenging because proper water storage containers take up a lot of room and are difficult to move if the need arises. For “bug in” situations, having a larger container that stores hundreds or even thousands of gallons is better than stacking 1-5 gallon containers. Unfortunately, they won’t be easily transportable and they can cost a lot to install.
Water is critical. If chaos erupts and water infrastructure is compromised, having a large backup supply can be lifesaving.
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Supplies
There are multiple threats specific to the medical supply chain. With Chinese and Indian imports accounting for over 90% of pharmaceutical ingredients in the United States, deteriorating relations could make it impossible to get the medicines and antibiotics many of us need.
Stocking up many prescription medications can be hard. Doctors generally do not like to prescribe large batches of drugs even if they are shelf-stable for extended periods of time. It is a best practice to ask your doctor if they can prescribe a larger amount. Today, some are sympathetic to concerns about pharmacies running out or becoming inaccessible. Tell them your concerns. It’s worth a shot. The worst they can do is say no.
If your doctor is unwilling to help you stock up on medicines, then Jase Medical is a good alternative. Through telehealth, they can prescribe daily meds or antibiotics that are shipped to your door. As proponents of medical freedom, they empathize with those who want to have enough medical supplies on hand in case things go wrong.
Energy Sources
The vast majority of Americans are locked into the grid. This has proven to be a massive liability when the grid goes down. Unfortunately, there are no inexpensive remedies.
Those living off-grid had to either spend a lot of money or effort (or both) to get their alternative energy sources like solar set up. For those who do not want to go so far, it’s still a best practice to have backup power sources. Diesel generators and portable solar panels are the two most popular, and while they’re not inexpensive they are not out of reach of most Americans who are concerned about being without power for extended periods of time.
Natural gas is another necessity for many, but that’s far more challenging to replace. Having alternatives for heating and cooking that can be powered if gas and electric grids go down is important. Have a backup for items that require power such as manual can openers. If you’re stuck eating canned foods for a while and all you have is an electric opener, you’ll have problems.
Don’t Forget the Protein
When most think about “prepping,” they think about their food supply. More Americans are turning to gardening and homesteading as ways to produce their own food. Others are working with local farmers and ranchers to purchase directly from the sources. This is a good idea whether doomsday comes or not, but it’s particularly important if the food supply chain is broken.
Most grocery stores have about one to two weeks worth of food, as do most American households. Grocers rely heavily on truckers to receive their ongoing shipments. In a crisis, the current process can fail. It behooves Americans for multiple reasons to localize their food purchases as much as possible.
Long-term storage is another popular option. Canned foods, MREs, and freeze dried meals are selling out quickly even as prices rise. But one component that is conspicuously absent in shelf-stable food is high-quality protein. Most survival food companies offer low quality “protein buckets” or cans of meat, but they are often barely edible.
Prepper All-Naturals offers premium cuts of steak that have been cooked sous vide and freeze dried to give them a 25-year shelf life. They offer Ribeye, NY Strip, and Tenderloin among others.
Having buckets of beans and rice is a good start, but keeping a solid supply of high-quality protein isn’t just healthier. It can help a family maintain normalcy through crises.
Prepare Without Fear
With all the challenges we face as Americans today, it can be emotionally draining. Citizens are scared and there’s nothing irrational about their concerns. Being prepared and making lifestyle changes to secure necessities can go a long way toward overcoming the fears that plague us. We should hope and pray for the best but prepare for the worst. And if the worst does come, then knowing we did what we could to be ready for it will help us face those challenges with confidence.
